From Bulwyf's article:
"President Lincoln has been all but deified in America, with a god-like giant statue at a Parthenon-like memorial in Washington.
Generations of school children have been indoctrinated with the story that 'Honest Abe' Lincoln is a national hero who saved the Union and fought a noble war to end slavery, and that the evil Southern states seceded from the Union to protect slavery."
Well... let's start here:
- The Lincoln memorial occupies about half an acre, Jefferson's about two acres, FDR's seven acres and the Washington monument over 100 acres.
- Lincoln's statue is 19 feet high, sitting, Jefferson's is 19 feet high standing, FDR's memorial is life size, Boston has a 22 foot Washington and this one is 11 feet high, sitting:

- Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln & Teddy Roosevelt all have 60 foot high busts on Mount Rushmore.

As for
" 'evil' Southern states seceded from the Union to protect slavery." -- "evil" or not, that is exactly what they did and proudly said so at the time.
Only decades later did Lost Causers begin to attempt rewriting history to take slavery out of it.
So far they've not succeeded, though it seems they keep-on keeping-on trying.
